Welcome to the English International School

The English International School located in Cotonou Benin was founded in 2000. It is one of over 10,000 Cambridge International Schools established in over 160 countries worldwide.

Good behaviour and responsible citizenship are central to the operation of the school which was established on the principle of reciprocity. Students are expected to show care and consideration towards others, and to observe the codes of behaviour laid down by the school. The mission statement further outlines the aims of the school.

We are a co-educational day school providing an international education for children from the age of two until university admission age and we welcome children from a wide range of backgrounds. In the case where students come to us with limited English language skills, we aim to equip them to eventually function competently and with confidence in the language.

Years 4 and 5 had the opportunity to interact with visiting artists from China, learn about their techniques and appreciate different themes of inspiration on their special visit to the Chinese Cultural Centre.
